The dim back

Chapter 156: Medicine Problem

Zhang Fengxue frowned, feeling vaguely uneasy.

She carefully observed the pregnancy-preserving medicine her sister drank, and the strange taste made her suspicious.

She anxiously grabbed Zhang Yulu's hand and whispered, "Sister, there seems to be something wrong with this pregnancy-preserving medicine."

Zhang Yulu's face changed. She knew very well that there were only a few people in the palace who could take action against her.

Her eyes gradually became sharp, and she gritted her teeth and said, "It must be Concubine Qiu! She has always been jealous of my pregnancy, and she must want to take this opportunity to murder me and the child!"

The two sisters looked at each other, with a hint of determination in their eyes.

Zhang Fengxue said viciously: "Since he is unkind, don't blame us for being unjust. Now we will collect evidence and bring it to my brother-in-law later."

Zhang Yulu also nodded: "Liu Zhongqing should indeed be informed of this matter. If there is no evidence, he will definitely not believe it."

They decided to investigate secretly and expose Concubine Qiu's conspiracy.

Zhang Fengxue first contacted Qiu Feng, and the girl next to him asked: "What do you usually do in seclusion?"

The maidservant became a little wary: "What do you mean by asking these questions, Miss? There are rules in our palace. We servants cannot speak casually."

Zhang Fengxue naturally knew the mystery here: "My sister is pregnant recently, and I am just a little nervous, so I came here to take care of her. If anything happens, I don't know how to explain to my parents."

Seeing that the maid didn't say anything, Zhang Fengxue thought of a way and took off the string of beads in his hand last night.

"I see you've been looking at this bead for a long time, so I'll give it to you."

The maid was busy trying to refuse, saying, "Second Miss, please forgive me, I can't obey your order."

After the maid finished speaking, she hurriedly packed up the things in her hands and left, which made Zhang Fengxue feel even more confused.

Zhang Fengxue came to Zhang Yulu and said, "Sister, don't you find it very strange? How come the maid ran away out of fear before I even mentioned what happened?"

Zhang Yulu finally understood: "It seems that Qiu Feng must have transferred all his hatred to me because he lost the child."

Zhang Fengxue quietly collected evidence in the palace: "It seems that I have alerted the enemy today. Then I will think of a way and investigate slowly."

Zhang Yulu pretended to be calm on the surface so as not to alert the enemy.

During the observation period, Zhang Fengxue finally discovered that Zhang Fengxue would go out after dinner every night.

Every time he went out, he brought the girl with him, and he was always out for a long time.

Zhang Yulu deliberately tempted Liu Zhongqing: "After lunch these past two days, Concubine Qiu would go out for a walk. How about we go out with her?"

Zhang Yulu knew that the time was almost up, and winked at her sister Zhang Fengxue beside her.

Zhang Fengxue said with a smile: "Brother-in-law, it's good for my sister to walk around often for future childbirth. How about you accompany us to take a look?"

Liu Zhongqing naturally did not dare to neglect: "Since you don't have such a good temper, then I will accompany you to the end."

Time flies, and the sisters' efforts finally paid off.

They found evidence that Concubine Qiu had a secret relationship with the imperial physician, and the pregnancy-preserving medicine came from the imperial physician.

The three people came to the woods and saw Zhang Fengxue talking to a man in the moonlight.

Zhang Fengxue patted her sister beside her: "Sister, take a look, is the person in front of you Concubine Qiu? I didn't expect that at this late hour, she would actually talk to other men. I'm afraid this will not go well with you."

Now it can be seen that Liu Zhongqing's complexion is not particularly good, and has turned into the color of liver.

Liu Zhongqing shouted at Qiu Feng: "What are you doing?"

Frightened, Qiu Feng quickly pushed the man in front of him and said, "Doctor Zhang, please leave quickly."

But he was still a step too late. Liu Zhongqing rushed forward and blocked the imperial physician's way.

He knelt on the ground and began to plead with Zhang Yulu: "I hope the princess can forgive me. Concubine Qiu did beg me, but he has evidence of my crime, so I can only follow his arrangements."

Qiu Feng quickly explained to Liu Zhongqing: "I just heard that there is a good medicine that can make my sister's delivery less painful. At the same time, I want another medicine that can help me get pregnant."

Zhang Fengxue smiled and took out a yellow cloth bag from his body: "Then you can take a look at what I have here."

Zhang Fengxue took out a snow lotus from the cloth bag and said, "I heard it's very useful, especially for women who want to be hospitalized. Otherwise, I'll grind it into powder for you."

Qiu Feng had no choice but to agree on the surface: "That's really great, I'll accept it first, thank you, second sister."

Zhang Yulu, who was standing next to him, saw what was happening and laughed, "I didn't expect that Qiu Feng, who was born into a scholarly family, couldn't even recognize a small single flower. He thought it was a snow lotus?"

Qiu Feng knew he was being played, and said angrily, "So everything you did was a test for me. Why did you do this to me?"

Seeing Qiu Feng pretending to be pitiful, Zhang Yulu wanted to tear her face off: "Since you have no shame, then don't blame me. Then tell me the truth, what do you want to do?"

Zhang Yulu pointed at the dried snow lotus and said, "You can ask the imperial physician beside you, what can this thing do?"

The imperial physician had no choice but to explain: "On the surface, this may seem to help pregnancy, but in fact it will cause miscarriage. It is harmful to pregnant women, but it will not cause any harm to ordinary women."

Zhang Fengxue was like facing a huge piece of evidence, and he pestered Qiu Feng: "Hurry up and tell me why you did this?"

Qiu Feng opened his mouth halfway, but could not utter a word for a long time. He could only say: "How do I know what you are talking about?"

Liu Zhongqing drew the sword from his waist and put it under the doctor's neck. He had no choice but to say, "Your Highness, please listen to me. Concubine Qiu asked me to get it and she told me to keep it secret. Everyone in the court knows that Concubine Qiu is your childhood sweetheart."

Zhang Yulu was even more angry: "So, I don't have a high-ranking status, so I am not worthy of the prince."

Hearing what Zhang Yulu said, the imperial physician quickly began to explain: "In fact, it was the Empress Dowager who asked me to come here. She said that if Concubine Qiu had any difficulties, she must let me follow her arrangements."

Liu Zhongqing said angrily, "Are you asked to help harm others? Are you going too? Don't you know that the people you are harming are royal relatives? The blood flowing from this child is my blood. Do you know what crime you should be punished for?"

While he was talking, a voice came over: "I didn't expect that you guys are still alive. This is really a good show for me."
